Abstract: A conveyor device ( 1 ) for conveying substantially round products ( 11 ), for example eggs, comprises a support track ( 4 ) along which the products ( 11 ) can move in a conveying direction during use. Furthermore, the conveyor device ( 1 ) comprises a first substantially cylindrical engagement member ( 5 ), which extends transversely over the support track ( 4 ) with respect to the conveying direction. The engagement member ( 5 ) is designed to be flexible at least at the circumference, in order to engage on the products ( 11 ) on the support track ( 4 ), and can rotate about its axial axis ( 6 ) in order to advance the products ( 11 ) along the support track ( 4 ). The support track ( 4 ), downstream of the first engagement member ( 5 ) as seen in the conveying direction, has a elevated portion ( 8 ) which is located at a distance from the first engagement member ( 5 ) which is such that the latter engages on the products ( 11 ) on the upward part of the elevated portion ( 8 ).

Abstract: Various thechniques are described for improving the performance of a shared-nothing database system in which at least two of the nodes that are running the shared-nothing database system have shared access to a disk. Specifically, techniques are provided for changing the ownership of data in a shared-nothing database without changing the location of the data on persistent storage. Because the persistent storage location for the data is not changed during a transfer of ownership of the data, ownership can be transferred more freely and with less of a performance penalty than would otherwise be incurred by a physical relocation of the data. Various techniques are also described for providing fast run-time reassignment of ownership. Because the reassignment can be performed during run-time, the shared-nothing system does not have to be taken offline to perform reassignment. Further, the techniques describe how the reassignment can be performed with relatively fine granularity, avoiding the need to perform bulk reassignment of large amounts of data across all nodes merely to reassign ownership of a few data items on one of the nodes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a visual indicating device and an article for controlling odors, in particular foot, garbage, basement, cooking, pet, tobacco, feces and urine odors. The article comprises a visual indicating agent that is color sensitive to the odor, and optionally, an odor absorbing agent. The visual indicating agent changes color when the article has been exposed to a sufficient amount of odor to saturate the article. The indicating agent may be applied in differing concentrations to two or more zones so as to indicate to a user of the article how much of the odor absorbing capacity has been used, or conversely, how much of the odor absorbing capacity remains. Suitable visual indicating agents that change color in response to odors are also described. The article for controlling odors may be a disposable odor absorbing sheet, air freshening product, diaper, undergarment pad, face mask, air filtration device, sanitary napkin, tampon, panty shield or incontinence pad.

Abstract: The invention relates to enabling differential forwarding in address-based carrier networks such as Ethernet networks. There is described a method of and connection controller for establishing connections (76, 77) in a frame-based communications network comprising nodes (71-75 and 78) such as Ethernet switches. The connections are established by configuring, in various of the nodes, mappings for forwarding data frames, such as Ethernet frames. The mappings are from a combination of a) a destination (or source) address corresponding to a destination (or source) node (73) of the connection and b) an identifier, such as a VLAN tag. The mappings are to selected output ports of the various nodes. By using the combination of destination (or source) address AND identifier, the mappings enable data frames belonging to different connections (76, 77) to be forwarded differentially (ie forwarded on different output ports) at a node (75) despite the different connections having the same destination node. This enables flexibility in routing connections and the ability to perform traffic engineering.
